It's a hard genre to explain, but it's got a focus on naturalistic dialogue and timing, and they're really cheap to make. Here's the wikipedia page:
Mumblecore
It's hard to say what the movie was about, exactly. It mainly centered on a goofy priest that was obsessed with his sister's high school boyfriend, and the two of them take a canoe trip together. Things get really weird and crazy in the last half an hour. The whole thing makes no sense, but it's interesting enough to keep you watching.
It reminded me of this other "mumblecore" movie,
Septien, that was nonsensical but came together for a disturbing and interesting finale.
These movies typically start off as poorly written, strange indie comedies and turn into something a little more clever and insane.
